Parka-kind-of-weather

Today I am out on press days most of the day. It is rainy and grey so all I want to wear is my warm GAP parka and hide under my big fur hood! I love parkas and here are a few styling tips I would suggest:

1- Be creative: belt it up with a glitter or neon belt

2- Pull up the sleeves to show a bit of a dotty or stripe sleeve  from underneath

3- Go for classic greens rather than funny colours- it works best in it's classic colour 

4- Don't be afraid to wear it over a smart dress, it makes any outfit look cool and modern

Have you seen my Xmas gift guide yet?

I'm back at work and wanted to tell you all about my very first Christmas Gift Guide for Red out in the December issue. It was SO much fun to do and I hope you will find lot's of greta gift ideas. Everything for HER is bespoke (of course!), everything for HIM is useful and every stocking filler is what all of us girls really want to find in there (Miller Harris mini candles yes please!). Here is a sneaky peek at some of my favourite pages but so much more in the real thing. x

The Xmas gift guide opener is the stunning Smythson year diary I LOVE!

My very own Christmas wish list..

Make sure you leave the this accessories shoot in front of your partner.....

The little luxuries we all want to find in our stockings..

One of my favorite pages: pesonalised-everything!

Personal shopper on the high street

This week end my "little" cousin was in London visiting so as I do with all my sisters we went on a Saturday afternoon shopping spree. I always love taking my girls shopping and it's also a great chance for me to see what's in the shops and sometimes bag something of my own! We hit the road and found some fab things in Oasis (leopard print jacket), KG (navy blue glitter ballerinas) and much more.. Here's a little diary of our day out.

OUR FAVOURITE BUYS:

1. Oasis stripe jumper £45

2. Oasis Lace skirt £45

3. Oasis leopard print ballerinas £35

5. Oasis faux leather skinny trousers £42

6. Miss KG glitter pumps £70

7. KG at Kurt Geige navy glitter ballerinas £49

TIPS WHEN YOU GO SHOPPING:

• Wear easy to get-off/put-on clothes and shoes
• Avoid sunglasses, scarf or accessories you can forget in the changing rooms
• Always wear a little make up (changing room mirrors/lighting can be unforgiving)
• Wear an across-body bag so you are hands free
• Stop shopping half an hour before you get too tired... cloudy thinking is no good
• Don't overthink things.. you can always try at home and return later!
